When will Trump "pop goes the weasel" moment come in the debate. I am saying 10 minutes in.

We all know he will Trump but the question is when will he pop?
Hillary will be throwing jabs, just like Ali did. Which jab will be the one?
Her team has been working on those verbal jabs, timing, in mock debate practice, the wording, the topic.
Eventually he will succumb to the barrage of, what he will think are personal insults and then "pop goes the weasel".
10 minutes max

in the last third of the debate. I think he will present initially as the laid back, calm trump. He will hold out as long as he can.
I heard today that he was threatened by his staff as being left out in the cold, by the party, and humiliated in voting if he did not get control of himself. He then settled down until the birther fiasco. Now he is back in the level mode. Just hope it does not last thru Monday nite.

of hoping for one particular jab or knockout punch, although if the opening presents itself I'm sure she'll be ready for it.

But I think her strategy is going to be to grind Trump (and Trumpism) down steadily and methodically. This is a long one-on-one debate and he isn't going to be able to skate by with 'believe me' and his typical bombast, zingers and half-truths.
